What's For Dinner?

Tonight's Guests: Jaydee Hanson (Part 1) Jaydee Hanson is co-author of The Principles For The Oversight Of Synthetic Biology and leads the Center for Food Safety's work on emerging technologies (synthetic biology, nanotech, and GM animals). Jaydee responds to criticisms of the oversight principles as utopian, showing that they promote what consumers reasonably expect safety regulation to achieve. The conversation offers an Unalarmist but frustrated discussion of how plants created by Synthetic biology do - and more often don't - fit within today's regulatory context and approaches. Jaydee also describes the way he regularly discusses CFS concerns with representatives of companies using synthetic biology in developing new food ingredients.
